AH-64D apache Longbow : 1/48 : Hasegawa

[Guest]

---------- resuming from a Revell Apache now despatched as a wreck.


A Hasegawa which looking at the sprue looks a million miles from the Revell (Monogram).


This is an addition to my Afghanistan collection in British Army regalia. Have the Revell British Army sprue so not all is lost. A resin set costs more than a Revell.

Nice one Laurie. How did you get on with the decal search? I had a quick look before going to bed last night to no avail.

Did not Joe. Thanks for your interest. I do believe this company must be defunct.


Not the end of the world. I will use the Revell decals which are British Army based.

The importers for Model Alliance still have a range but it does not include the one you need unfortunately. Keep an eye out on ebay etc.

looks like a nice kit,Laurie,I will be tagging along as well,

[Guest]

Early signs show that this Hasegawa, my first, is shaping up well. a


great revelation after that Revell disaster. Really pleased I gave up on that.


Really enjoyable. Tried the two piece fuselage and that fits together well.


Any questions please try me.

I may have missed it, but the decals from the Revell kit can be used with this one, no?

[papa 695]

Nice start Laurie

Thanks Rick going to do that. Just hope the decals are a lot lot better than the Revell Monogram Plastic work.


Also using the Revell additional sprue which has the British Westland Apache add on bits. I hope.
